Ridgewood Brings In The Choppers For Mosquito Control

RIDGEWOOD, NJ — Heavy rain brought on by Tropical Storm Henri have reinvigorated mosquito concerns in Bergen County, but officials announced they are acting swiftly.

Bergen County Mosquito Control will be "larviciding" the non-residential area of Grove Park, which is located off of Grove Street and adjacent to the Saddle River and the Borough of Paramus on Thursday.

That application will be done by helicopter, officials announced, adding that it "will help to drastically reduce the mosquito breeding in the park wetland areas."

The helicopter is set to also fly over a number of other communities in the county, including:

• Franklin Lakes
• Little Ferry
• Teterboro
• Moonachie
• Park Ridge
• Ridgefield Park
• North Arlington
• Paramus
• Closter
• Lyndhurst
